Chapter Sixteen

I got off the table in a matter of seconds and Jeanne was at least a meter away from me. His colleague was leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets and a grin from ear to ear.

"So with this woman you cheated on my sister Jeanne?"

First I looked at the man who had changed his smile into a grimace, then I looked at Jeanne who lowered her gaze and shook her head.

-This is not the place Arturo to talk about it, besides, I never had a relationship with your sister.

Jeanne seemed to want to end the conversation soon but "Arturo" was shaking his head.

-Oh dear, now I understand why Lizzy changed so much overnight, YOU were the cause ... Do you know that since then she is not the same? I even thought you had settled down and were going to marry her.

Lizzy? My mind connects the cables immediately, it is the brown woman who months ago "was" with Jeanne and who treated me horribly when she noticed a certain connection between her and me, she had practically called me her whore when that day she threatened Jeanne and me, since then he hadn't heard from her.

-I'm sorry that everything ended that way, my intention was never to harm Lizzy ...

-But there were others, right? -Arturo laughed loudly- not just your nanny, that Gaby, your secretary, do you think I'm stupid? I knew that since before you were cheating on my sister, but I never said anything because I believed that Lizzy was only using you for her pleasure, as time went by I realized that it was not only sexual attraction that I felt for you ... you managed to enter into his head and in his heart, when he told me you were an asshole a few months ago I did not understand why, I thought they already had something serious, they were together everywhere, at dinners, galas ... but you never stop your adventures? Right? ”Arturo pointed at me and Jeanne cleared her throat.

-Arturo, you are an adult man and your sister too, perhaps she has never explained to you the type of relationship we had, but it was not exactly monogamous, Lizzy also had her other partners and you know it ...

The man still nodded with a psycho smile on his face.

-Of course, if you had not already paid for what you did to my little sister ...- he approached Jeanne- that does not mean that I will not use this new information in my favor- now he turned to me- your new acquisition seems to be a secret, kept as much as the Nizzaris are used to doing ... girl, if you have any common sense you should stay away from this woman, destroy everything in her path ...

Arthur took one last look at Jeanne and walked slowly away from us to the door.

-We'll see you another time Jeanne, for today we've had enough-saying that last thing, he gave Jeanne a smile and left.

All that time I was holding my breath, Jeanne was still looking at the ground thinking and I was standing there still under the influence of the drug trying to assimilate everything that is a stream of information. Did Jeanne have open relationships? Had I ever had a "partner? Multiple questions popped into my head and the more I processed them the less I liked the result of all that. I needed to think about all this and the huge information gap that was engulfing me."

"If you allow me, Mrs. Jeanne, I want to retire to rest in my room," I said in a neutral tone but unable to give her another look.

-Emma, I'm sorry you had to listen to all that, believe me I can explain it to you ...

I shook my head as I started to take the first steps towards the door.

-I have many things to process in my head and it is not a good time to talk, enjoy what is left of the night ma'am ...

I came out of there with my chest tight and my head spinning. It seems that my boss had the habit of getting involved with anyone for a long time, that didn't matter to me, but could I carry that out right now? I bit my nails as I walked up the stairs to my room. Could she accept the kind of relationship Jeanne used to? Maybe, but something was stirring inside with the idea that Jeanne only saw me as one more prey ...

There were many thoughts that at this moment I could not carry, Beatriz, Lizzy, Jeanne ...

I needed to get a break from all that shit and close my eyes for once, when I put on my pajamas I turned off all the lights and lay in the dark of my room staring up at the ceiling. What kind of person are you Jeanne?

Without realizing it at this time I have started to like Jeanne Nizzari too much, but hopefully I knew her, I barely knew her tastes, her hobbies, her way of seeing relationships ... I knew absolutely nothing about Jeanne and that confused me. What was so hung up on her?

I decided to interrupt my thoughts and rest, it was not leading me to anything good going around so much in my head, I was exhausted and the marijuana had given me a lot of fatigue and sleep, most of the effects were already wearing off, now only my enormous desire remained about sleeping ...

*

It had been about two days where Jeanne had barely appeared at the mansion, she would arrive very late at night when I was in bed and she would leave early in the morning. We had arranged to talk things over but she seemed to avoid me, the day she didn't get to sleep - despite the fact that she had sent me a message - she confused me even more and by the fourth day I had almost lost all hope of having any serious conversation with Jeanne.

Everything ended up collapsing the day that Jeanne arrived late in the morning, she had decided to wait for him in the living room watching television, when I heard the door open I got up from the sofa and went to meet her, she was wearing a black two-piece suit and the hair down, two of her buttons were open and I could clearly notice how there was red lipstick on her neck, showing two marked carbonated kisses. When I saw it, something inside me stirred uncomfortably, Jeanne seemed to notice my fixation and immediately put her hands to her neck.

-Emma, I'm sorry, it's not what you think ...

I shook my head and decided to go to my room, Jeanne thought I was a deluded twenty-something and a toy, but it wasn't, not at all, I had already experienced many things and I knew that this was not going to break me down, it wasn't the first time that I felt used and damaged by someone, rather it hurt me that I had placed my trust in Jeanne Nizzari and she had broken it just as she had predicted.

From that day on I decided not to think about it again and forget my attraction to Jeanne, we had kissed a couple of times but that would be all, what had happened would be left behind and everything would continue as before, I being Marie's babysitter. and Jeanne just my boss.

The next day Jeanne left early in the morning as usual and that ended up convincing me, I would not let the best known businesswoman in the country hurt me, Jeanne could be with whoever she wanted and I would not be an impediment to it.

When I was preparing breakfast my cell phone started ringing and when I saw the screen I noticed that an unknown number was calling me.

-Yes?

-Good morning Emma, this is Beatriz ..

-Beatriz?

-Yes, with the same one. That night we could not say goodbye properly ... Honey, have you thought about our conversation?

-...

-I know you must be doubting me, but believe me I have a lot of information about Jeanne that could interest you, many important details to consider about your dear boss, if you want we can get together and I will gladly show you all that, do you think?

-...

-Emma, you can meet me at the address that I will send you in the next few minutes, if you decide to go I will wait for you there at 7 tomorrow, if not, I will understand your refusal, until then ...

Beatriz hung up while my heart skipped. What information did Beatriz want to give me? Important information from Jeanne? I knew that Jeanne Nizzari was hiding many things ... but how many?

The day passed slowly while my head kept spinning, Beatriz had sent me the address minutes later as she had told me. Why was Jeanne so interested in that woman? Did you want me to share secrets from Jeanne? To what end?

I could hardly eat after that call, I shared with Marie her games and tasks, but I found it out of the things she was doing, as if I were there witnessing them but inside I was flying at a thousand an hour.

It was 8 o'clock at night when Marie fell asleep, I went downstairs to turn off the lights on the first floor of the mansion to go to bed, however when I was going to turn off the penultimate the front door opened and there was Jeanne with heavy breathing and messy hair. When she closed behind him, his eyes fell on me and she didn't stop until I lowered my gaze. She was wearing a blue suit to match her eyes, it fit damn good and she knew how to show it off. When I looked up again, Jeanne was two steps away from me and with her serious face but with bright eyes.

-Emma, can we talk? She asked taking my hand.

-...
